What has Trump said about any of this that he hasn't already contradicted?

I think fear of life is another reason. Between all the gun violence, terrorist attacks, etc, people are looking for a protector

Markets are reacting already. Looks like investors believe in a Trump victory.

Investors started positioning for a strong showing by Republican Donald Trump, as a widening lead for the presidential candidate in key states of Florida and Ohio set off a sharp decline in U.S. stock futures.

Prepare for the end folks

We may be living through the most successful Russian intelligence operation since the Rosenbergs stole the A-bomb.

EDIT: Sorry, that didn't copy properly. Tweet from David Frum.

Did the white crowd vote for Obama when he promised the same things? It's ridiculous to say race isn't a big factor in this election.

I guess I'm not denying these people exist. I have a few of them on my Facebook as well.

Even if 20% of Trump voters think like this (and I think that's a generous number), the problem for Democrats is why the other 80% aren't voting for Hillary.

No one thing. Partisan voting is so deep that it doesn't take much to swing one way or the other. His nationalist message of "I'll protect you", empty promises of fixing everything and giving everyone ponies without increasing taxes, his appeal to the deblorables, all contributed.

And Clinton it was death by 1000 cuts, she wasn't just running against Trump, she was running against Trump and the FBI and Congress and sexism and lies. EDIT: And Russia

I hope you aren't serious. Russia has had about as much influence on this election as I have.
